Finally, let’s not forget our Jacksonville Jaguars are in town for a game against the Buffalo Bills at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 15 at EverBank Field.
Have you heard – the Jaguars are not mathematically eliminated from the playoffs? The AFC’s hottest team has won four of their last five games, and need help from the “12th player –“ the fans – to win another.
